Stauder Technologies is proposing to design and develop a next generation Field Computing Device – Wearable (FCD-W) kit solution. The kit will include a Smart Hub with the ability to create a secure wired or optional wireless connection to any End User Device (EUD). The Smart Hub will provide on board processing with advanced automatic data management and routing to ease operator burden. There w ...

High-Spatial and Hyperspectral-Resolution Imaging for Bridge Inspection 3/12/2018 Four out of 10 national bridges have been in service for 50 or more years which have undergone different levels of structural deficiency; other relatively newer bridges are constantly exposed to natural and artificial hazards and are likely structurally deficient in their life cycles. This SBIR project aims to de ...

A System and Case Studies for Consolidating and Providing Access to Vehicle Safety-Oriented Datasets 3/20/2018 In today’s world, data is power. A person using social media can take a seemingly random survey about puppy adoption, the demographic and preference data can be fed to political marketers and that person’s empathy toward puppies can help elect the next President of the United State ...

Positioning and navigation have become a mainstay of everyday life in the U.S.; applications of interest include navigation of vehicles of all kinds, infrastructure mapping, and safety of life systems. Many of these recent applications have become possible through the GPS. With the recognized vulnerabilities of GPS, it is evident that equivalent backup systems must be developed. One possible so ...

Historically, biometric collection systems have been designed for fixed Law Enforcement office applications. Their limitations stem from the fact that they were designed for specific hardware collection sensors optimized for a specific application. To a large extent the software is proprietary to a single vendor’s sensor suite and not designed to accept international character sets. Current p ...

The United States Special Operations Command’s Special Boat Teams are routinely exposed to an environment prone to injury and the long-term effects of repetitive impact stress. The primary cause for injury and long-term degenerative musculoskeletal effects is the repetitive impacts incurred as the MK V and NSW RIB vessels impact the ocean’s surface. The goal of SOCOM02-007 Phase II research is ...

Special Operations Forces (SOF) require a real time display of appr opriate data to allow the helmsman to access the damage potential to his cargo (equipment/personnel) and support his decision relative to speed and course selection when operating in rough water. Furthermore, maintenance support personnel need quantitative data to support design decisions and maintenance activities. This proposa ...

Emergent Technologies Corp. (ETC) in conjunction with research partners at West Virginia University has developed and recently patented an innovation antenna that promises to revolutionize the science of antenna design, construction and utilization. The antenna, labeled the Countrawound Toroidal Helical Antenna (CTTHA), offers a number of significant advantages over conventional antennas. The CT ...

Special Operations Command has divided patient care into three phases, evacuation from the hazardous region, triage and transport, and hospital care. A device is required for Phase Two that can sample, monitor and display vital signs, log the parametersin memory for up to twenty-four hours and download vital sign information once the patient has arrived at the medical facility. This system will ...

DURING PHASE I, WE WILL DEVELOP AN ALGORITHM TO CALCULATE THE FORCES GENERATED DUE TO THE IMPACT OF AIRCRAFT STRUCTURES WITH SOIL. THIS ALGORITHM WILL BE INTEGRATED WITH THE CURRENT KRASH PROGRAM AS AN EXTERNAL FORCE ACTING ON THE VARIOUS MASS ELEMENTS THAT ARE DEFINED IN KRASH. THE FAILURE OF SOIL DUE TO THE IMPACT OF THE AIRCRAFT AND DRAGGING OF THE AIRCRAFT ALONG THE SURFACE WILL BE MODELLED TA ...
